Dear Mary,
This may be a little late to be useful but I am catching up on my emails
after being out of contact at some nature reserves in South Africa.
Before having this holiday, I was involved in a talks tour of South
African universities organised by the Academy of Sciences of South Africa
(ASSAf). They have been great to work with and they may be able to help
you. Try emailing Rudzani Ramaite at the ASSAf office:

>> Thanks to this list I found a great press officer for a conference in
>> Prague earlier this year. Now I am after the same thing for Durban,
>> South Africa; or more particularly a contact in South Africa who could
>> advise, in the first place, whether someone who can speak local
>> languages would be necessary in the press office of a major
>> international fertility conference, and whether we should be thinking
>> about translating media material into such languages. Any ideas?
